Symbolism & fun facts
Coffee
Cup of coffee? A tree worth getting out of bed for. No more capsules, just pick, dry, roast and grind. This coffee tree is an incredible asset to your kitchen,
perfectly positioned beside the coffee machine.
Flowers
Quite a sight to behold. In spring, the adult coffee tree develops stunning sweet-scented white flowers. Its leaves have a sheen all year round.
Berries
The buds turn into berries that change in colour from green to red. The beans remain light green. Only after roasting do they take on their characteristic dark brown colour.

Care
Baby
Here I am! Your very own baby coffee tree. I hope you will take good care of
me. Put me somewhere indoors with lots of light and give me a little water
every other day.

After 2 weeks
After 2 weeks of pampering, it is time for a larger pot! Preferably a pot of 2
litres or more with holes for drainage underneath so I don’t drown.

Inside
At home in Ethiopia, it is 20 – 25°C all year round. So I am happier indoors
all year. I tolerate shade well, but I grow faster beside a sunny window.

Teenager
What you nurture will grow. I do my very best. Once I am twice the height
of my pot, it is time for a larger home.

Fertilizer & tree size
I get a little peckish when I develop new leaves and will be very grateful for a little extra plant food! You can decide how big I grow. In pot and with good care I grow about 30 centimeter per year.
